ABOUT | We want better towns and neighborhoods. So we launched a film festival. 

In 2023, First+Main partnered with Southern Urbanism, a non-profit dedicated to building better cities in the South, to bring the Better Cities Film Festival to the South. The film festival is scheduled to be hosted in Durham, North Carolina, through 2029.

Southern Urbanism is a mission-based organization committed to building better cities in the South

Better Cities Film Festival collects, curates, and presents the very best films on the theme of making better cities, towns, and neighborhoods.
Together, we are bringing the best films on better cities to the South.
